Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaThe shower could do with a refurbishment and it would be nice to have a tv in your room.
The breakfast was delicious and generous. The building had been sympathetically restored and the decor was pleasant. BUT the owners were the real bonus; pleasant, friendly without being intrusive and informative.

AustraliaThe fact that we couldn’t stay longer!
We only stayed one night as we were continuing our travels the following morning. Perfect location for a quiet stay. Iva and her husband were excellent hosts and gave us great recommendations for the little time we had there. The house was beautiful and tastefully decorated. Every detail was thought of, without exception. And the breakfast was incredible!

AustraliaNothing comes to mind.
Amazing breakfast! Fresh tropical fruit salad, yoghurt, hot toast, eggs cooked to your order, cereal and milk all presented very professionally outside on the back deck. Bed was comfy, and our room was well presented and spotless. Lovely old world Queenslander home in central Townsville. The hosts were so friendly and attentive. Made us a fresh pot of tea as soon as we arrived and made sure we knew all what restaurants were close by. Also enjoyed playing a game of snooker in the pool room and had a glass of complimentary sherry. Really can't fault this B&B. We'll be back!

Australianothing, all was wonderful
Beautiful spacious room with character and comfort combined, within an amazing Queenslander house with a gorgeous terrace out back to enjoy the views of the mountain and sky, along with the big mango tree in the back garden. Lovely ensuite shower and toilet with the room. Bed was super comfy and I slept like a koala 🐨. The hosts Eva and Richard know customer service, and they are 11/10 in this department- attention to every detail, lots of local knowledge and tips from dining out and must dos in the local area. Breakfasts are top notch and plentiful. Full recommendation to stay here if you want a home away from home, and with true local friendliness and top service within a setting that gives you a glimpse into yesteryear.
